The Camping Family: March 2011

March started out in the BEST way possible this year... with the birth of our buddy Noah Andrew Benson! Welcome Baby Noah! :)

9 Days past her due date, my sweet friend Amanda was a champ waiting it out... all's well that ends well! :)

Family breakfast :)

Caleb loves reading to the babies

Kelly and I had a chance to bust away to Estes for a day to snowshoe and catch up!

Gonna do it...

Did it :)

Sweet baby E :)

He makes me smile :)

Grandma Paulie came in to town for a week to visit. She took care of the twins while I was at work... lucky guys!

On the way to Arizona to visit family for spring break

One minute a happy, calm family of five...

... the next minute my sons clothes are all off... poor guy, half way through the flight he threw up more than I could even imagine his little stomach holding. I was holding Ethan and Caleb was on Dustin's lap when breakfast, lunch and dinner made a reappearance... Dustin held out his hand, then when his hand was full, I held my non-baby hand out... when that was full I handed Ethan off and stuck out my other hand... when that was full, we just looked at each other and watched Caleb's vomit fill his lap, clothes and seat. Poor guy. He was scared... has only thrown up one other time... started crying. I snapped out of the shock (was this really happening?) and started the cleaning process while Dusitn held Caleb reassuring him all would be okay. Here he is cleaned up down to just his diaper for the rest of the flight.

We have back up clothes for the babies, but not for Caleb... silly Mom! So here he is in grandma's sweatshirt and his tennies walking through the airport.

Greeted by Roger and Bear :)

:)... so the good news is, it wasn't the flu... just something he ate... or something... He's feeling just fine now:)

First day in Arizona brought lots of fun with cousin Ansley:)

Feeding the ducks...

ducks weren't interested, so they took care of the bread:)

Nothing like doing interval runs with my grayhound husband... ahhh... good workout!

Icebath Arizona-kids-pool style

Dustin and I left the kids with Paula Tuesday and headed up to Sedona for a day together. Man is Sedona beautiful! We had so much fun together... bit off a bit more of a strenuous hike than we had barganed for, but the challenge was fun:).
